Sherwood Bay Resort & Aqua Sports Dive School

This place is perfect! My husband and I couldn’t pick a single flaw. My brother and sister-in-law just had their wedding here, and it was like a fairy tale. The sunset was breathtaking, the rooms were all clean and spacious, and the owner and her team were very accommodating. The garden area is well maintained. We simply cannot recommend this resort highly enough!

Lisa and the staffs are very accomodating and hospitable. They are approachable and friendly. Food is good! Two thumbs up for Kuya Rob especially the Tonkatsu. Since we've arrived on a Sunday, they allowed us to check in earlier with no additional payment. We checked - in at around 8AM and rest for the whole day. The next day, we had our DIY tour. Since we know that the resort is somewhat far from Tagbiliran and far from the main roads, we decided to rent a car to less our expenses and so that we can go wherever we want. Lisa helped us and contacted someone, so we can rent a car for that day. Since we want to go to the some places earlier in the morning, we asked the staffs if we can just have our free breakfast at lunch time, and good thing it's okay, just need to inform them ahead of time. The pool is clean as well as the Jacuzzi, you can use the Jacuzzi starting 730AM up to 5PM because the operator leaves at the afternoon. The place is really relaxing and peaceful. I don't mind the Wifi that is just available at the Restaurant, because I went there to have some rest, to relax and to free my mind and body from stress. The TV is small but it's okay coz' I didn'f go there just for the tv. The bathroom is cool! :) I super love the bathtub. The view is very amazing! I am so satisfied and I was really surprised because it looks different in the pictures from the site. Best Birthday for me! :)

I always committed to myself to be honest when I write reviews and so this is my true and honest representation of a VERY disappointing experience of this so called hotel. Seriously my family and I were like Robin Hood, we just wanted to get our of Sherwood. It's not cheap at all so there is no excuse in my reckoning. Only highlight is the view, but you can get that from the 360 degree coast of Bohol and Panglau so that novelty soon wears off. The staff were nice enough, but despite them having been in business for 6 years it came across that each day was their first in hospitality. I'll list now the lowlights; - It is in the middle of NOWHERE - believe me NOWHERE; - there is nothing within less than 20 minutes drive; - there is no public transport therefore to get anywhere and you have to rely on their 'premium cost' transport service; - you are a captive audience for their packages (diving, whale watching etc) and therefore pay a premium compared to what you can pay 20 minutes away, but of course its hard to get to because you are in the middle of nowhere; - entertainment is one swimming pool, by the way the jacuzzi is broken; - we were greeted with; * do you mind ordering your food 30 minutes before you want it because we are really slow; * the bar & restaurant shuts at 2130 (sorry I thought this was a resort), but if you give us advanced notice we might be able to extend; * let us know if you'll be late back and we'll open the gate (yep no security past a certain time); - we were getting text messages asking if we'd be coming for breakfast and dinner (sorry I thought I was on holiday not at boarding school); - massive menu with half the options not being available; - it takes over 45 minutes to get fed; - tiny portions; - local food OK, Western rubbish; - it takes about 20 minutes to be served one cold beer; - Wifi is only available in the bar area. Now that shuts at 2130, so back to the room. Oh no, no Wifi, lets watch the TV - yep apart from 1 or 2 channels it is all local Philippines TV - so absolutely NO ENTERTAINMENT from this place at all. It is NOT WORTH the money for staying here and everyone staying here was complaining of all of the above. We ended up paying double to stay at another hotel for half our stay we were that disappointed in Sherwood Bay. NEVER AGAIN. One other guest described it as shameful, I am with him. If you want to sit and stare at the sea, have no entertainment, and be in bed at 2130 every day - fill your boots. With 5 kids I need entertainment and I feel I have been VERY misled and over charged for such a poor experience from Sherwood Bay. This should be renamed Fawlty Towers, Panglau Branch. Only thing missing is the Major at the bar, but then there is no bar and if there was it would shut at 2130 and he would be sent to his room. Seriously think twice and again before you consider booking this place!!!
